'Style Is An Alien Word To Uche
Jombo, Toke Makinwa Has Too
Much Fakeness - Emmy Collins
Check out what avant-garde and
versatile designer Emmy Collins who is
rapidly gaining a reputation for mocking
celebrities' red carpet outfits wrote on
his blog about Uche Jombo's oufit to
Rukky Sanda's movie premiere and
Toke Makinwa.
This man is mean! What do you think?
Uche Jumbo
I guess the fashion police just arrested
this lady outside the event venue and
rummaged through that hair hoping to
find any atom of style hidden there.
They must have let her go when they
saw a brick wall.
The fashion olokpas must have felt so
out of luck, hehe.
Style is an alien word to this chic.
However,I have been wowed by the most
unlikely people at some
point in my life so I am still waiting with
bated breath for Uche to shut me up
with her styling someday.
I wouldn`t put any smart money on that
happening any time soon though.
Toke Makinwa
The first time Toke found herself in hot
pepper soup on this forum was during
her obvious failed attempt at stuffing
this monstrosity called a dress down our
throats.
However,she is back in trouble today not
as a result of the outfit she had on but
what she spewed out of her mouth in a
recent interview.
I have managed to purposefully boycott
any news relating to Toke of late as I
honestly don`t fathom why she has to be
in the news.
Well, I have mentioned unequivocally in
the past that once you set out to bleach
the beautifully skin you inherited from
God (God created us in his own image)
then you have proven beyond any
reasonable doubt that you are insecure
so Toke has since entered my black
book as an insecure young lady.
By saying that she acquired the British/
American accent during the JUST one
year she spent in UK because she didn`t
want to come across as a “SAVAGE” is
further proof that this young lady needs
counselling to build up her sense of self
belief.
Let me tell you a short story.
Back in the 90`s , there used to be an
American military base in the Dutch
town of Zest located on the outskirts of
Utrecht and near the town of Gouda.
If you are a lover of cheese, then you
must have heard of Gouda as Gouda
cheese is amongst the best in the world;
stinkingly yummy, lol..
Anyway, there was a nightclub called
Pinocchio which was frequented by
Black Americans from the base and of
course Africans most especially
Nigerians (Naija no dey carry last nah).
Now, the major attraction to this club is
the chics, YUP, chics. Any white chic
who wanted to taste what a brother had,
partied out there.
The prevailing accent then was
American so every Nigerian including
those with tribal marks and those
straight out of main market Onitsha
made efforts to sound American and
boy, the most disgusting sound I ever
listened to in my life was to listen to
these confused Nigerians trying to speak
with an American accent just to get the
chics.
Me?
I used my fine boyness, my nasty but
beautiful afro mixed with my authentic
accent (whatever that means lol ) to
score a few nice chics.
In fact I scored more chics than all the
fake asses. And oh, did I forget to
mention that even a few Somalians who
just came straight off the boat and
miswaka-ed into the club also tried to
come off as Americans?
Now, imagine the scene. A local
Somalian faking American and
genuinely thinking he pulled it off? I
used to have an American buddy from
the base and one day he said to me “why
are my Nigerian brothers not proud of
their accent. I hang with you because
you keep it real,bro”
Well, the moral of my short story is that
fake accent doesn`t get you too far.
People will always smell your fakeness
from miles away.
Savage my skinny ass. Fake accent, fake
skin colour? Now, that is too much
fakeness in one person,Tokstarr.

Handwriting:
Men: To their credit, men do not
decorate their penmanship. They just
chicken-scratch.
Women: Women use scented, colored
stationery and they dot the "i" with
circles or hearts. Women use
ridiculously large loops in the "b" and
"g". It is a pain to read a note from a
woman. Even when she's dumping you,
she will put a smiley face at the end of
the note.
Groceries:
Women: A woman makes a list of things
she needs, then goes out to the store
and buys those things.
Men: A man waits till the only items left
in his fridge are half a lime and a beer.
Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys
everything that looks good. By the time
a man reaches the checkout counter, his
cart is packed tighter than the
Clampett's car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of
course, this will not stop him from going
to the express lane.
Relationships:
Women: When a relationship ends, a
woman will cry and pour her heart out
to her girlfriends, and she will write a
poem titled "All Men Are Idiots". Then
she will get on with her life.
Men: A man has a little more trouble
letting go. Six months after the break-
up, at 3:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, he
will call and say, "I just wanted to let you
know you ruined my life, and I'll never
forgive you, and I hate you, and you're a
total floozy. But I want you to know that
there's always a chance for us." This is
known as the "I Hate You / I Love You"
drunken phone call, that 99% of all men
have made at least once. There are
community colleges that offer courses to
help men get over this need.
Sex:
Women: They prefer 30-40 minutes of
pre-intimacy.
Men: They prefer 30-40 seconds of
pre-intimacy. Men consider driving back to
her place part of the pre-intimacy.
Maturity:
Women: They mature much faster than
men. Most 17-year old females can
function as adults.
Men: Most 17-year old males are still
trading baseball cards and giving each
other wedgies after gym class. This is
why high school romances rarely work
out.
Magazines:
Men: Men's magazines often feature
pictures of naked women. Men are
turned on at the sight of a naked
woman's body.
Women: Women's magazines also
feature pictures of naked women. This
is because the female body is a beautiful
work of art, while the male body is
lumpy and hairy and should not be seen
by the light of day. Most naked men
elicit laughter from women.
Bathrooms:
Men: A man has six items in his
bathroom -- a toothbrush, shaving
cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a
towel from the Holiday Inn.
Women: The average number of items
in the typical woman's bathroom is 437.
A man cannot identify most of these
items.
Shoes:
Women: When preparing for work, a
woman will put on a wool suit, then slip
on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her
dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks.
When a woman gets to work, she will
put on her dress shoes. Five minutes
later, she will kick them off because her
feet are under the desk.
Men: A man will wear the same pair of
shoes all day. Let's not talk about how
many days he'll wear the same socks.

Men are like…..Bananas.
The older they get, the less firm they
are.
Of course women don’t work as hard as
men…
They get it right the first time.
What do you call a man that lost all of
his intelligence?
A widow.
How can you tell if a man is lying?
You can see his lips moving.
Why do men need sports action replays
30 seconds after the event?
Because they’ve forgotten what
happened.
What do you instantly know about a
well-dressed man?
His wife is good at picking out clothes.
Why did God create man first?
Because he needed a rough working
model before creating the perfect
specimen of the species.
What does it mean when a man is in
your bed gasping for breath and calling
your name?
You didn’t hold the pillow down long
enough.
Why do men like smart women?
Opposites attract.
What is the one thing that all men at
singles bars have in common?
They’re married.
What is the difference between men and
women?
A woman wants one man to satisfy her
every need. A man wants every woman
to satisfy his one need.
What’s the smartest thing a man can
say?
“My wife says….”
Why do female black widow spiders kill
the males after mating?
To stop the snoring before it starts.
Why does it take 100 million sperm to
fertilize one egg?
Because not one will stop and ask for
directions.
Men are like…..Vacations.
They never seem to be long enough.
Men are like…..Cement.
After getting laid, they take a long time
to get hard.
Men are like…..Snowstorms.
You never know when he’s coming, how
many inches you’ll get or how long he
will last.
Men are like…..Lawn Mowers.
If you’re not pushing one around, then
you’re riding it.
Why did god invent men?
Because vibrators can’t mow the lawn.
How many men does it take to screw in
a light bulb?
One … men will screw anything.
What’s a man’s idea of pre-intimacy?
A half hour of begging.
An english professor wrote up on the
board “woman without her man is
nothing” and told his students to
punctuate it.
The males in the class wrote “Woman,
without her man, is nothing.”
The Females wrote “Woman! Without
her, man is nothing.”
“Men are like fine wine. They all start
out like grapes, and it’s our job to stomp
on them and keep them in the dark
until they mature into something you’d
like to have dinner with.”
There were three guys talking in the
pub. Two of them are talking about the
amount of control they have over their
wives, while the third remains quiet.
After a while one of the first two turns
to the third and says, “Well, what about
you, what sort of control do you have
over your wife?”
The third fellow says, “I’ll tell you. Just
the other night my wife came to me on
her hands and knees.”
The first two guys were amazed. “What
happened then?” they asked. “She said,
‘get out from under the bed and fight
like a man’.”
A man rubbed a lamp and a genie came
out. The man asked to be stronger than
any other man. He was given the
strength to crush bolders.
He asked for the worlds fastest sports
car and a ferrari appeared in front of
him. He then asked to be smarter than
any other every man on the earth. He
was turned into a woman.
Why Men Are Like Computers:
10. They have a lot of data but are still
clueless.
9. A better model is always just around
the corner.
8. They look nice and shiny until you
bring them home.
7. It is always necessary to have a
backup.
6. They’ll do whatever you say if you
push the right buttons.
5. The best part of having either one is
the games you can play.
4. In order to get their attention, you
have to turn them on.
3. The lights are on but nobody’s home.
2. Big power surges knock them out for
the night.
1. Size does matter.

“We will not hesitate to shut down the
education system in the country, if the
government fails to fulfil or honour the
agreement it entered into with the
lecturers”.
Those were the words of the National
President of the Nigerian Union of
Teachers (NUT) Mr. Michael Olukoya on
Thursday September 26, 2013 while
announcing his union’s 2 weeks
ultimatum to the Federal Government to
resolve the ASUU crisis. The NUT was
obviously not ready for a peace-maker
role as some analysts would imagine.
Rather, it came into the subject on the
side of ASUU. This can be deduced from
the union’s statement that the current
ASUU strike was “nationalistic, patriotic
and self-sacrificing”.
The government probably sensed this
and hurriedly met with the teachers to
plead with them not to complicate the
subject. Interestingly, although the
NUT’s body language at the meeting
gave an impression that it was
persuaded by the plea, the union has
since restated that its ultimatum stays.
Considering that any responsible societal
institution is expected to seek solutions
to a nation’s problem it is hard to
immediately appreciate the present
posture of the NUT. Some labour
analysts are quick at drawing attention
to the fact that a solidarity strike is
acceptable in global unionism. This
according to them would move the
government to take ASUU much more
seriously. It would indeed get the
attention of the international
community and as such, put the Federal
Government on its toes.
As if some other unions buy this
principle of the power of democracy, the
idea of solidarity action is gaining
ground by the day on the ASUU issue.
Already, 2 other powerful unions are
warming up to join the strike. The
Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers
(NUPENG) was the first to show concern.
At the end of the union’s National
Administrative Council meeting, held in
Lagos last weekend, its President, Igwe
Achese stated that his union was not
happy at the crisis facing the public
university system. It therefore
threatened to stop distribution of
petroleum products across the country if
the Federal Government failed to
implement the agreement reached with
ASUU.
Only last Thursday, the National Union
of Electricity Employees (NUEE), gave the
Federal Government seven days to
resolve the ASUU strike or face a total
shut down of electricity facilities in the
country. The decision of the union was
made known by its General Secretary,
Mr. Joe Ajaero at a training workshop
for labour leaders in the power sector in
Enugu, The secretary was emphatic that
the union could no longer sit back and
watch the destruction of the future of
Nigerian students who have remained at
home for the past 3months on account
of the ASUU strike. Thus it is now
certain that dangerous dimensions are
about to be introduced into the crisis
making it obvious that it is time to call
on well-meaning Nigerians to intervene
and save the nation from disintegrating.
It will be recalled that the National
Assembly, especially its education
committees, had in the past waded
unsuccessfully into the crisis. The Vice
President, Governor Gabriel Suswan of
Benue State, the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation and the
Minister of Labour had all similarly tried
in vain. Of course, the matter is far
beyond the capacity of the current
supervising Minister of Education. It
would in earnest be unwise to leave it
with him having failed when he along
with the former main Minister in the
Ministry tackled the issue. Is he likely to
do better now that he is alone; more so
as his other crisis in Rivers State might
take more of his time? At this point, it
seems rational to bring in fresh hands to
handle the subject. Here, we suggest the
invitation of Owelle Rochas Okorocha,
the Imo State Governor, who is fast
becoming accepted as a man with a
rescue mission orientation.
Oh yes, the media has of recent become
replete with wonderful stories of a
complete transformation of Imo’s
Education system. It is a man like Rochas
who has made Education the biggest
industry in his State that is needed right
now. Perhaps because he is matching
Governor Akpabio naira for naira in
what looks like governance by publicity,
some people tend to doubt the miracles
of Rochas in Imo. The truth however is
that even his political rivals marvel at
his initiatives in the education sector. At
the last count, Governor Okorocha has
in his State ensured free education to
the tertiary level; improved subvention
of N252 million to Imo State University
from N56 million, improved subvention
of N98 million to Imo State Polytechnics’,
Umuagwo from N45 million, construction
of Imo College of Advanced Professional
Studies [ICAPS], Young Scientist College
and 305 European standard schools in
the state. A few weeks back, the state
government under his watch took
delivery of 15 container loads of school
uniforms, sandals, desks, books and
other learning materials that have been
freely distributed to school children
under the free education programme.
A short trip to Imo State would convince
cynics that public schools there now
have clean and beautiful environments
where several modern facilities abound.
Unlike ASUU members, school heads in
Imo now have maintenance budget and
their salaries are now regular. Over
70% of them have been promoted with
their staff rooms well equipped and
decorated. It will be hard for the NUT to
get Imo teachers whose allowances are
guaranteed to join its solidarity strike.
For instance, they now get wardrobe
allowance as well as end of year bonus.
There is also the story that teachers are
paid before other public servants in the
state. As a result, the idea of part-time
teaching and part-time-trading that is
prevalent in many states is banished in
Imo. The Nigerian nation therefore
needs the help of Rochas Okorocha, the
new ‘Awo’ of Imo education to reveal
how he manages education as well as
teachers. If this suggestion is followed,
Rochas will no doubt encourage all our
leaders to follow his own avowed
principle of “never to play politics with
education”

Some university lecturers on Thursday
said that the federal government's
directive on the reopening of
universities, which also directed staff to
resume by Dec. 4 or face sack, was a
joke.
They spoke in separate telephone
interviews from Lagos.
Lecturers, under the aegis of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU), had on July 1 started a
'comprehensive, total and indefinite'
strike in public universities across the
country.
The union members are agitating the
non-implementation of some issues
contained in an agreement it entered
into with the Federal government in
2009.
Mr Nyesom Wike, Supervising Minister
of Education, however, earlier on
Thursday, directed all Vice-Chancellors
of Federal Universities to immediately
reopen for academic and allied activities.
He also directed the Pro-Chancellors and
Vice-Chancellors to ensure that staff
who resume for work are provided with
the enabling environment for academic
and allied activities.
The minister said that any academic
staff who failed to resume on or before
Dec. 4, automatically ceased to be staff
of the institutions.
In his reaction to the directive, Dr
Oghenekaro Ogbinaka, Chairman,
University of Lagos branch of ASUU, said
the development was strange and
laughable.
He said that this was so considering the
fact that the union was yet to get back
to the government, after their
deliberations with President Goodluck
Jonathan.
“Our reaction is simple. Let us just wait
for the seven days to come around.
“What government has just done shows
that they were not committed in the
offer they made with the union that had
the Trade Union Congress President and
the Minister of Labour in attendance.
“We are not going to fall to that
blackmail. Now, which one is better,
government acceding to our demands or
issuing out threats.
“Honestly, this whole thing ought have
been easily resolved given the approach
taken by President Jonathan but it is
like we want to be taken for granted
after all and it is unfair,' he said.
Prof. Oyelowo Oyewo, immediate past
Dean, Faculty of Law, University of
Lagos, simply described the development
as “a glorified joke and laughable''.
Oyewo noted that it was funny that one
of the parties which had before now
been holding dialogue, would try to
intimidate the other .
“I see this whole thing as a joke and I
dare say it is not even worth my
comments. We just keep our fingers
crossed and watch. I still emphasise that
such ultimatum is a display of
insensitivity and a huge joke,' he said.
Also commenting on the government
directive, Prof. Sat Obiyan, Head of
Department of Political Science, Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, said that the
ultimatum was not the best approach to
resolving the strike.
He, however, said that the threat may
achieve some success because some
lecturers would resume for fear of
losing their jobs but it would not end the
crisis in the education sector.
Obiyan said that it was unfortunate that
the strike was allowed to linger for so
long.
“Nigerians are worried over the
situation; the prolonged strike is not
good for the education system in the
country but the Federal Government
approach now is not the best.
“What is required is little understanding
by both parties to agree on something
and end the strike without aggravating
it.
“It is not a new thing for the Federal
Government to threaten ASUU members
with sack; it was done in 1996 by the
late President Sani Abacha.
“For the university system to work
perfectly, you need all the personnel and
not few lecturers on ground to teach,“
he said.
Obiyan urged the Federal Government
to have a rethink and implement the
agreement reached with the union.
He also urged ASUU to give the
Presidency the benefit of doubt that the
agreement will be implemented given
the President Goodluck Jonathan's
intervention which saw him leading the
government delegation at the last
negotiation meeting.
Also, Dr Yinka Ajala, Head, Department
of Geography, Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile-Ife said that the threat
would ignite more problems in the
education system.
Ajala said that threatening lecturers
with sack should not be a weapon but
for the Federal Government.
He said that the ASUU executive was
being careful with the agreement
reached with the Federal Government
before suspending the strike.
“What ASUU is asking for is not too
much, they want government to show
some commitment with the agreement.
“Government can only force few
lecturers to resume but not all if the
Vice-Chancellors open registers in the
institutions.
“The sack threat is a tactic that will not
work; it has been used by the military in
the past, so it is not new to us.
“I do not think this is the way
government should handle the strike, it
will not solve the problem,“ he said.
The Coordinator of Education Right
Campaign (ERC), Mr Hassan Soweto, said
that the ultimatum would only worsen
the problem, noting that it was against
the principle of public bargaining.
“What ASUU wants is some level of
commitment from the Federal
Government before it will suspend the
strike.
“It is not right for the government to use
force in a democracy,“ he said.
Mr Agbomeji Ibrahim, a student of Lagos
State University, Ojo urged the Federal
Government not to be authoritative by
giving lecturers one week to return to
classes or face sack.
Ibrahim, who is a student unionist, said
that there was a better approach to
resolve the issue rather than using a
sack threat.
'In comradeship, we do not shift grounds
due to threats.
'President Goodluck Jonathan is already
on the verge of settling with union, so
the present decision might slow down
the process of the resolution,' he said.
Ibrahim urged the Federal Government
to be more sensitive its decision and said
that ASUU should also have a rethink as
the strike was old enough to be called
off.
''The Federal Government must be
careful, logical and realistic its decision,
because of the importance of the sector.
''Both the Government and ASUU need
to accommodate each other on the
negotiation table because both parties
cannot get all their demands and must
be ready to shift grounds, 'Ibrahim said.
President Jonathan had personally led
the Federal Government negotiation
team at the last meeting between both
parties where some agreements were
made and the ASUU was to return to the
government after consulting with its
members.

Confirmed!! BBA contestants
Beverly Osu and Bimp are a couple!
BBA The Chase contestants Beverly Osu
and Bimp from Ethiopia are dating. They
currently live together at a temporarily
place in Lekki.
Bimp is planning to to stay in Nigeria for
good if all his plans go well. He will
return to Ethiopia tomorrow while
Beverly goes to South Africa for the
Channel O awards but as soon as she
returns to Nigeria, Bimp will return to
his love. I hear they are totally mad for
each other! Go Bev! This is a hotter
catch than Angelo!

The convoy was intimidating, people
scampered for safety, other road users
veered off the road in what looked like a
scene in Hollywood movies, If you
thought it was a war scene, you were
wrong! Because making use of that
narrow way that day was not a military
head of state but an un-elected wife of a
political office holder!
In a story that circulated on the internet
recently, one Ola Adeosun narrated how
he became victim of the overzealous
security officials of the governor of a
South-West state just because he
happened to share the road while the
governor’s convoy at that time.
More worrisome was his allegation that
the show of brutality and naked force
was supervised by a senior police officer.
According to him, for daring to challenge
the security officials on why his vehicle
was hit, he was beaten black and blue,
dragged on the floor and hurled into a
police truck where he was taken to the
police station. This is one of such
executive lawlessness that has become
part of our political space.
Alas, the whole nation was to be put in a
mourning mood days later when a
vehicle in the convoy of the Governor of
Kogi State, Idris Wada, crashed into a
Toyota Hiace bus conveying an erstwhile
President of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, Prof. Festus Iyayi, to the
proposed ASUU NEC Meeting in Kano
somewhere along the Lokoja-Abuja
Expressway killing him on the spot while
two other ASUU chiefs were critically
injured.
According to the Kogi State Sector
Commander of the Federal Road Safety
Corps, Mr. Olatunde Motajo, the
recklessness of the governor’s convoy
drivers led to the fatal accident that
claimed Iyayi’s life. According to him, the
last vehicle in the convoy of the
governor made ‘’wrongful overtaking’’
thereby ramming into the bus conveying
the ASUU chiefs.
Intimidation of the Nigerian citizenry by
the political class as well as influential
public figures when making use of our
roads is fast becoming a shame that we
should be worried about. Ours is about
the only country in a democratic setting
where political office holders not only
use public funds to acquire excessive
security vehicles but also use same to
oppress its citizenry. The sight of drivers
in the convoy of politicians, escorts,
bank officials and the “fat cats” in the
society breaking traffic rules is a regular
occurrence that not only elicits anger
from the citizenry but also causes
accidents that claim lives.
In a bid to impress their masters,
overzealous “monsters” in uniforms
intimidate other road users whenever
they make use of the roads. They
flagrantly abuse the rights of other road
users, forcing other drivers off the road
while those who have the guts to argue
with them over their right to also use
the road are molested and physically
abused. It is important for us to remind
ourselves that this is a democratic
setting where the leaders have an
obligation to serve the people. The
government has a sacred duty to ensure
the security and welfare of the citizenry
(the very essence of government), it is
thus unthinkable that these same
people who should be the ones
protecting us are sending a lot of us to
our graves prematurely
Just when one thought Iyayi’s case
would be a call for caution for political
office holders, another tragedy
happened two weeks ago, less than 24
hours after the accident that claimed
Iyayl’s life. According to The PUNCH, a
convoy of seven vehicles consisting of
three escort vans containing policemen
caused an accident in Lagos. It was
reported that the convoy connected the
Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway recklessly
without checking for oncoming vehicles,
and unfortunately a Tipper moving on a
high speed in a bid to avoid the convoy
swerved off the road and lost control,
killing two persons and injuring several
others.
The recklessness of drivers attached to
political office holders have caused
untold hardship and pain to many
families. The recklessness of an
individual has caused the indefinite
suspension of the National Executive
Council meeting of ASUU, where votes to
end the over four months strike by the
university lecturers was expected to
have been taken, thus shattering the
hopes of millions of Nigerians who hoped
that the industrial action would be
suspended last week.
Public officials should as a matter of
urgency reduce the long list of vehicles
in their convoys; it is totally
unnecessary. Apart from the fact that
their maintenance amounts to a waste
of taxpayers money, it is a show of
intimidation on hapless citizens who
service these vehicles with their taxes.
Political office holders and all those who
are entitled to the use of escorts should
curb the excesses of their security
details, after all, the drivers and security
escorts do all these to impress them.
It should be noted that the drivers of
these vehicles are not immune to
prosecution and so the traffic
management and enforcement agencies
should step up their job and bring erring
drivers to book. Also, we should
strengthen our traffic laws such that
any offender, no matter how highly
placed is prosecuted duly. All this will
put recalcitrant drivers in check and
ensure that sanity returns to our roads.
In as much as the political office holders
do nor repair our roads and make them
motorable enough, then we should all
“enjoy” the hold-up and the attendant
hardship, after all, none of us has two
heads.
This carnage in the name of convoys
must stop and the time to end it is now!
Prof. Iyayi will always be remembered
for his doggedness, activism and the
struggle for a Nigeria that works. He has
left an indelible imprint in the sands of
time and his legacies will continue to live
on.

The Principal of Baptist High School,
Ejigbo, Osun State, Mr. Layi Oguntola,
who was beaten up by some Muslim
youths in his office on Monday for
allegedly sending away an hijab-
wearing pupil, has been discharged from
the hospital.
Oguntola had been on admission at the
Baptist Medical Centre since Monday
when the youths that stormed the
school descended on him till Wednesday
when he left the hospital.
The principal, who spoke with our
correspondent on the telephone, denied
removing hijab from the head of
Romoke, the female student at the
centre of the crisis.
He said, “The girl did not wear any hijab
nor put any hijab in her bag. What she
put in her bag is not even my concern
except the content is harmful. I did not
search her bag; I didn’t send her away
from school.
“She was unruly and I caned her. I gave
her a punishment to serve but to my
surprise, while I was still there she
ignored me and was demanding for
doughnut from two of her friends.
“I saw this as disrespect and I caned her.
This happened on Wednesday,
November 20. The following day her
mother came to my office and lambasted
me. She promised to cause trouble in the
school.
“On Monday, about 250 Muslims youths
came to the school and headed straight
to my office. They attacked me and
turned my office upside down. I was
admitted in the hospital. I have been
discharged; I am okay partially.”
Meanwhile, Speaker of the Osun State
House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salaam,
has condemned the attack on the
principal.
The Speaker, in a statement by his Press
Secretary, Mr. Goke Butika, said, “The
issue has nothing to do with the school
reclassification exercise, but improper
way of settling scores with the
leadership of the school by some
aggrieved persons.
“We should be mindful of enemies of
progress who only want to subvert the
school reclassification exercise that has
started yielding positive result by
attributing personal scores between
some aggrieved persons and the
leadership of the school to the exercise.”

The Committee of Pro-chancellors of
Nigerian Federal Universities, on
Tuesday, unanimously ordered
immediate re-opening of universities
across the country.
The communiqué signed by the
Chairman of the Committee, Professor
Kimse Okoko, was made available to
newsmen late Tuesday in Abuja.
The communiqué was
issued at the end of
the committee
meeting to discuss the
protracted strike by
Academic Staff Union
of Universities (ASUU)
and other issues
affecting the Nigerian university system.
The communiqué stated that the
decision to re-open the universities was
unanimously agreed by all pro-
chancellors in the overall interest of all
concerned.
The pro-chancellors, in the
communique, directed all vice
chancellors to comply with the
committee decision.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the
decision of the pro-chancellors was
predicated on the earlier referendum
held by various chapters of ASUU that
voted 60-40 in favour of suspension of
the over four months old strike.
They expressed dismay that all efforts to
resolve the crisis, including the
intervention of President Goodluck
Jonathan, has failed.
The communiqué recognised “all effort
by Federal Government to address the
major issues involved in the strike
action including the bold and the
supportive intervention by Mr
President.”
It also stated that the committee noted
“with satisfaction the outcome of the
referendum conducted in all branches of
ASUU nationwide which voted 60-40 in
favour of the suspension of the ongoing
strike by ASUU.”
The pro-chancellors called for the
understanding of ASUU and indeed all
staff of the various universities in
Nigeria.
This order is coming on the heels of
polarisation that has already crept into
the ASUU, following the meeting they
had with President Goodluck Jonathan
penultimate week.
Nigerians were amazed that the
emergency National Executive Council
meeting, held in Kaduna last weekend,
came out with fresh conditions for
suspension of strike after it was
rumoured that a deal was struck with
President Jonathan.
ASUU has been on strike since July 1 and
the NEC meeting was to deliberate on
the resolutions of various chapters of
ASUU on whether the strike should be
suspended or not based on the offers by
the government.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the pro-
chancellors were aggrieved that even
when majority of the members of ASUU
want the strike called off, few elements
in the union have refused to yield to the
popular desire of the members.
Meanwhile, the crisis rocking the
University of Lagos (UNILAG) chapter of
ASUU, over its continued participation in
the ongoing strike action by the union’s
national body, worsened on Tuesday as
the two factions in the crisis openly
traded insults.
The congress, called on Monday, saw a
sharp division in the chapter with a
faction favouring a pull-out from the
strike action, giving a week ultimatum
to open the institution.
The faction also promised undisclosed
further actions if the ultimatum was not
met, after it held a separate congress
following the disruption of the earlier
one.
